Sleater‐Kinney

In the vibrant summer of 1998, Sleater-Kinney was riding the wave of their critically acclaimed album, "Dig Me Out," which had been released just a year prior in 1997. This album marked a significant point in their career, solidifying their position in the riot grrrl movement and grunge scene. The live performance of "Memorize Your Lines" at Pier 62/63 in Seattle showcases the band's unmistakable energy and raw emotion, hallmarks of their live shows. Notably, this performance underscores their burgeoning appeal, as they were gaining recognition within the music world for their innovative sound that blended punk rock with feminist themes. By this time, Sleater-Kinney was not just a band; they were a cultural force, redefining what it meant to be an influential female voice in a predominantly male industry.
